How do we cultivate the conditions
for joy to expand?
We train in staying present.

At home here
Into the house where joy lives
Happiness will gladly come

Saying yes
I rarely let the word “no” escape
from my mouth
because it is plain to my soul
that God has shouted “Yes, Yes, Yes!”
to every luminous moment of existence.

Moments
There is no such thing as a charmed life, not for any of us, no matter where we live or how mindfully we attend to the tasks at hand. But there are charmed moments, all the time, in every life and in every day, if we are only awake enough to experience them when they come and wise enough to appreciate them.
